The New York Times name Danang among 52 places to go in 2015
The Hanoitimes - The New York Times on January 9 listed Vietnam’s central Danang City the 43rd among 52 places to go in 2015. Last year, it placed QuangBinh, another central province, on the 8th position among 52 best places in the world. Danang was included in the list as the city’s long coastline is blessed with several stunning stretches of white sand. It is more enjoyable to take a sandwich sold along the beach after swimming. Danang has more than 1 million population. Tourism sites and services have developed and attracted a lot of visitors, particularly since a new terminal of Danang International Airport was officially put into operation on December 15, 2011. Top the New York Times’ list is Milan (Italy), followed by Cuba and Philadelphia (the US). The listed destinations in Asia include Singapore (rank 6th), Sri Lanka (22nd), Seoul in the Republic of Korea (33rd) Shikoku Island in Japan (35th) and Chengdu and Shanghai Cities in China (44th and 46th, … [Read more...] about The New York Times name Danang among 52 places to go in 2015
China’s oddball demolition king eyes the New York Times
Chinese multimillionaire Chen Guangbiao gives money away to street cleaners during an event organized by him, where people representing companies, which Chen claims pollute the environment, attend a parade to be publicly ''shamed'', in Nanjing, Jiangsu province February 21, 2013. Photo: Reuters Chen Guangbiao has never acquired a company. The 45-year-old recycling magnate has also never worked in the media industry or become proficient in English. But these facts have failed to puncture the preternatural bubble of confidence surrounding the controversial Chinese entrepreneur, who has his sights set on what he has deemed the world's most influential news outlet: the New York Times Co. To be sure, it is unlikely that the Times, which is controlled by the venerable Ochs-Sulzberger clan, would sell to Chen, an oddball tycoon and philanthropist known more for his publicity stunts than his business acumen. Undaunted, Chen said in a phone interview on Friday that he had retained a … [Read more...] about China’s oddball demolition king eyes the New York Times
Reports in the New York Times criticize the Pakistan army
Reports in the New York Times criticizing the Pakistan army and the powerful intelligence agency is a "direct attack" on Pakistan's security, the army spokesman said on Saturday. Major General Athar Abbas, the Pakistan army's chief spokesman, repeatedly criticized the Times' reporting and said it was part of a calculated plan by "unnamed officials" to "weaken the state." "This is a direct attack on our security organization and intelligence agencies," he told Reuters in a rare on-the-record in-person interview. "We consider ISI as a strategic intelligence organization, the first line of our defense." The U.S.-Pakistan relationship has been on a downward spiral since last year, but the decline accelerated after the killing of two Pakistanis by a CIA contractor in Lahore in January and the U.S. raid to kill Osama bin Laden, which Pakistan complains it was not told about and says was a breach of its sovereignty. Abbas was responding specifically to a July 8 editorial that said there was … [Read more...] about Reports in the New York Times criticize the Pakistan army
Khoi Vinh: a Vietnamese – American “saves” the New York Times
CPV: Khoi Vinh, 38, a Vietnamese-American has helped the New York Times double its readership his through his method of "Encouraging direct reporter-to-reader interaction". In spite of many US magazines and newspapers going into bankruptcy or making a loss due to the global economics crisis. Encouraging direct reporter-to-reader interaction That print journalism is fighting for its life isn't exactly breaking news. The Chicago Tribune filed for bankruptcy in December 2008; the Seattle Post-Intelligencer closed its print business in March and the San Francisco Chronicle may be headed for the same fate. On April Fools' Day, The Guardian announced it would begin publishing only 140-character "tweets"—a prank story, but one that rings eerily plausible these days. The Times itself has had a rough year. After spending a lot of time researching, Khoi Vinh introduced a new interface for nytimes.com with functions such as a journalism library, blogs have popped up in every section, … [Read more...] about Khoi Vinh: a Vietnamese – American “saves” the New York Times
